Frustration!

UUUUUUUGH! KILL ME NOOOOOOOOOOW!

So, I'm working on this secret project, which has a pretty slim timelimit on it...I can't show any pictures, or speak in detail what it is, but here's what I can share about it... I am supposed to have 96 stitches on each...I'm supposed to decrease 16 of those and have 80 after a horribly long stretch of knitting... I decided to recount the stitches, now that I've done the last decrease on this first one... So I count...and I count again...a third time I count...and a fourth and a fifth...
Then I go down to the bottom, before the decreasing and count the stitches I had down there...about three times... Every time, I end up with 10 stitches too little...

I just want to cry... I've been working on this ONE thingy for over two days now...and I'm at the wrong amount of stitches...and I'd hate to rip it up again... The base of the second got 96 stitches allready... I have no idea why or how this happened... I just know that I can't deal with this and that I now probably won't be able to finish this thing in time...

About me!

Hello there and welcome to my little spin-off blog!My name is Lise, but you can call me Lizzy (or Liz). I am 25 years old and lives in Norway with my boyfriend and my little kitty cat, Pepsi.I am a licensed and graduated goldsmith, but getting a job is really hard so for now, I'm currently inbetween things...which sucks.My greatest hobby is game collecting...followed closely by knitting, henche why I started this blog! My mother taught me to knit when I was about 4-5 years old and I've been knitting on and off since then, until 4 years ago when I started to knit for realz! My favorite technique is by far fair-isle on socks and sweaters, but I love challenges in other directions as well.This blog is mainly to get myself back into blogging and get knitting away from my other blog (NintendoLizzy).You can find me on deviantART at KnitLizzy or LARvonCL.I hope you'll enjoy my projects and if you need to ask something, or want to commission something, send me an email at knitlizzy(at)gmail(dot)com
